Dr. Strangelove 3.0

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), 1 hour and 35 min.

Synopsis: A British officer on an exchange program in an American military office is faced with the problem of dealing with the after-effects of a trigger-happy superior. Russia's existence, and the world's, teeters in the balance.

Opinion: How rottentomatoes.com misdirected me with this film. A biting Cold War satire where I clearly missed all the jokes.

Verdict: 3.0/10.0 It is obvious that this movie makes sense to some people.

I think you are too young to understand this film. Have you ever had to "duck and cover" in the event of a nuclear attack? Do you know what MAD stands for?

In a similiar vein, "Planet of the Apes" is a sly commentary on racism and "Night of the Living Dead" (and the rest of the series) is a satire on classism/racism.
